Just Because

Just Because Just because we are trying to sell ourselves and poetry Doesn't mean we have to do it for a profit. Tell me one famous poet who was trying to make a profit. Trying to make a profit becomes a pitfall, obstacle and Often removes our creativity and open mindedness. I am writing my poems to satisfy myself and Meet my own personal interests. There are over 30,000 people on www.poetrysoup.com and www.story-telling-around-the-world.com trying to and doing the same thing. They serve as an instigator and invigorator. Okay, so I read another's poem and say I can do better then that. Or, I read their poem and say that gives me an idea to write a poem about. Or receive a supportive comment increasing and Encouraging my ambition. I will put this on www.poetrysoup.com and www.story-telling-around-the-world.com To see what they have to say about it. I am reading and listenly closely. I mean listening. I have just created another word in the English Vocabulary. James Thomas Horn

So true. My poetry I write for release and just because I can. Less violence in a physical nature and more of it on paper . I share my poems with the world because they need to know they arent alone in life . I can write quickly and about any topic All I need is a plimpse into something or someone's life to pen out something for them. My dream is to publish my novels for a living and share my poetry as a gift to the readers,.

A person once told me that I was blessed by God and gifted to be able to write rhyming poetry. My poems just come flying out and I write them down. Typing is something else though that I hate. Just remember Merton's Self-fulfilling Prophecy and make other person think that your idea is their's. Would like to see you write a poem about Hobbit latest movie. Jim Horn
